Famous cyclist will miss the next two Tour de France races after testing positive
BERNE - Alejandro Valverde will miss the next two editions of the Tour de France after the Spaniard was given a two-year ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday for violation of anti-doping rules.
CAS imposed the ban, backdated to start Jan. 1, after accepting evidence which linked the Tour of Spain champion to the Operation Puerto anti-doping investigation.
